Step into the Stone Age

Kents Cavern is one of the most important Stone Age sites in Europe and one of Britain's best showcaves!

On your visit you'll go back to a time when the cave was home to ancient humans, sheltering from extreme weather, making fires, shaping tools and hunting Ice Age animals. As you walk through the extensive labyrinth of caverns, you'll be surrounded by 400 million-year-old rocks and spectacular stalagmites and stalactites.

Whether you're planning a family adventure, a couple's day out or a solo trip into the past, Kents Cavern offers an unforgettable experience for all ages.
